In my trace 'instantiator' is a string (at least in frame #12 and up).
This weird function 'process_image_string_instantiator' seems to make

day???
It's not wierd :) It allows things like "myimage.xpm" to be mapped to [xpm
"myimage.xpm"]. However, it looks to me like instantiator *should* be
GCPRO'd in this instance - normally the instantiator is implicitly GCPRO'd
because it will be part of the glyph referenced by some extent. However
mapping a string instantiator to a vector violates this.
